Flawless
Absolutely perfect, especially the king’s love for his woman. Despite everything, he protects her at all costs. What I liked most was that he didn’t care about anything else—his priority was always her.In many dramas like this, the king often becomes helpless and lets his woman suffer, but here, that wasn’t the case.
Too good! A must-watch.

Actually I liked the drama , specially the chemistry between the leads.
For me, this drama was all about chemistry. I felt bad for the second male lead—he remained a true friend while setting aside his own emotions. I am not saying that the female lead should be him. However someone should be there for him also.
The ending was perfect. All the actors and actresses did a great job. I especially liked the first male lead’s smile—he looked cute all the time.
I prefer Chinese historical dramas over modern ones. Except for a few episodes, the drama was enjoyable overall.

Boring.
What I liked most about the entire drama was Jang Ki Yong’s smile. Unfortunately, the weak storyline overshadowed even the best acting. There were no truly happy or uplifting moments, and after the first three or four episodes, every character seemed lost, struggling with their own challenges.I understand that life isn’t perfect and that ups and downs are a part of everyone's journey. However, dramas are meant for entertainment, and unless they are based on a true story, there’s no need to make the plot so unnecessarily complicated. To make things worse, they even messed up the ending.
Like many viewers, I had high hopes for the main couple. Despite their story being overly complicated by unnecessary consequences, I still hoped for a better or at least a satisfying ending. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. I don’t know how others feel, but the ending didn’t work for me, and it left me feeling unsatisfied.

Crying
Praise of Death (or Hymn of Death) is a heart-wrenching drama based on a true story, which I wasn’t aware of until watching it. Though I wished for a happy ending for the characters, the fact that it’s based on real events left the writer no choice. The story is truly tragic, and I found myself crying during the last scene, especially when the male protagonist delivered his inner monologue while dancing with his lover. He reflected on how important she had become in his life, how deeply they were connected, and how much he cherished every moment spent with her—all while crying, which moved me to tears as well.The tragedy didn’t only affect the two lovers but also his wife, who suffered silently. The real blame for their fate lies with his father. He was a dutiful son, and his father took advantage of that obedience, marrying him off at a young age and never allowing him any freedom. When he finally got the chance to live life on his own terms, he developed feelings for another woman. Despite being married, he never crossed any boundaries or expressed his deep love for her, bearing the pain in silence. On the other hand, the woman longed to share her feelings with him but was stopped when she learned the truth about his marriage. She quietly left his house, and that’s when their sorrowful love story began.
Lee Jong Suk's acting was exceptional. His performance was so calm and realistic that it felt like these events were unfolding in real time. I was deeply moved by his portrayal, and once again, I’ve become a fan of his acting.
While I don’t usually like sad endings, knowing that this is what actually happened to them makes it all the more heartbreaking.

Not happy with ending .
The story starts off engagingly, incorporating a pig concept to add some humor to the scenes. To prove his parents' innocence, a boy endures numerous challenges. Though he possesses powerful spiritual abilities, he initially doesn't know how to harness them. When conflicts escalate, leading to numerous casualties, his latent power briefly emerges to restore order. However, since he doesn't know how to control his abilities, he often relies on Murong Zi Ying to save him. In the final episodes, as chaos reigns, he musters all his power to strike decisively.The ending for the female lead's character seems unjustified and doesn't make much sense to me. I expected the main characters to wield the sword together to resolve the conflict that began 19 years ago.
I hoped to see their marriage and a beautiful family, with Murong Zi Ying ending up with Meng Li.
As someone who enjoys romantic subplots might don't like the drama .The limited romance in this story left me feeling less engaged.
The one who play the role of Yun Tian He, hats off amazing acting .Truly remarkable performance.
Looking forward more drama of his.
I like one dialogue of his, " My Life is upto me, not you".
I like the way the female lead actor hit him with love whenever he said something stupid and when he show his innocency.

Perfect
I watched this drama primarily because of the main actor, whom I admire greatly. His acting is exceptional, and he truly showcased his versatility in this role. From portraying furious and stubborn to arrogant, crazy in love, and innocent, he displayed a wide range of emotions effortlessly.While the story itself may not have had a significant impact, his acting prowess more than made up for it. I believe he deserves bigger projects and opportunities to showcase his talent on a larger scale.

Very different story line
Ultimate Drama" ,kept me captivated from start to finish; I couldn't predict what would happen next. Although I was initially irritated by the negative traits of the female lead, I continued watching in the hope that she would eventually redeem herself.The chemistry between the lead couple was excellent, and while the drama had a happy ending, I wished there was more to it. I especially wanted to see a perfect resolution between the main leads and the female lead's sister.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama.

I don't like the ending
I was disappointed with the ending of the drama.However, I still enjoyed watching it, mainly because of the excellent acting by the actors, even the supporting cast. The chemistry between the main and second leads was great, and surprisingly, even the chemistry between their bodyguards was enjoyable to watch.
The drama had many hilarious moments that kept me entertained throughout. The first male lead was adorable, and the first female lead's acting was exceptional.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, despite the story not making much sense. It's just the ending that left me feeling disappointed.

What is the sense to show the year 2074?
Only for the dialogue that stated ,if anyone of the two leave then other one wil reach to them .There were several scenes that touched the audience deeply. For instance, when the husband, after deciding to divorce his wife, discovers she is dying, he chooses not to divorce her out of pity. He realizes the depth of his annoyance with her but decides to stay by her side during her final moments, which secretly brings him happiness.
Additionally, I found the chemistry between the second leads more captivating than that of the main leads. Especially, Hong Soo Cheol's performance was exceptional; he was truly outstanding.
Another memorable moment was when their love story finally began to unfold.
The subplot involving the female lead, who was the owner of a shopping mall, and her struggles to save it, added depth to the story.
Despite many engaging scenes, something felt lacking in the overall storytelling.

Good one
The Legend of Shen Li" follows the journey of Shen Li, a girl who flees from her betrothal as the Fire God, ultimately losing her powers and transforming into a Phoenix. She is taken in by a mortal man who raises her until she eventually reverts to her original form, albeit powerless. This marks the beginning of her quest to regain her powers and uncover her past, as well as the start of her love story. While the initial part of the drama may feel monotonous, it gains momentum once the male lead confronts his feelings, making the last 15 episodes particularly engaging. The chemistry between the leads adds depth to the storyline, making it an overall enjoyable drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Mixed thoughts
"A Piece of Your Mind" is a serene, composed, and emotionally charged drama. Initially, I struggled to grasp the storyline, but out of admiration for the leads, I persevered. As the plot unraveled, it revealed the bond between two childhood friends who grew up together in Norway, sharing their entire journey from childhood to adulthood. Despite their mutual love, a rift caused the boy to leave Norway. In his absence, a new person entered the girl's life, becoming her boyfriend. When they reunited, the boy became possessive, leading to their ( childhood friends) separation. The boy, an AI engineer, created a device capable of storing and replicating voices, aiming to provide solace to those who have lost loved ones. His motive was to preserve his girlfriend's voice and memories, allowing him to communicate with her. He enlisted the help of the female lead to record his girlfriend's voice and experiences, similar to Siri. However, I found it perplexing why his girlfriend didn't confide in the female lead about her predicament. She went to Norway alone for piece of her mind and she stuck in a snow .Despite having the opportunity to seek help from the Norwegian police, she chose not to, ultimately leading to her demise while conversing with the female lead. This aspect of the storyline was difficult to comprehend. Nonetheless, the drama excelled in other aspects, with minimal romance but a captivating plot overall.Was this review helpful to you?

Boring
The drama moved at a sluggish pace, which unfortunately led to a sense of boredom. Despite skipping through parts, I struggled to feel engaged with the storyline. However, the acting was commendable. The plot revolved around a girl who becomes infatuated with a voice and subsequently falls in love, forming the crux of the entire narrative. However, the lack of twists, excitement, or substantial plot developments left much to be desired. While there was romance, it failed to captivate me. Overall, it's not a drama I would recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Want to cry
The very first thing I want to do is congratulate the leads of the drama for their outstanding performance. Initially, I thought the ending would be tragic, but thankfully, the writer chose a positive conclusion. Throughout the drama, I empathized deeply with the patient's struggles. Despite the support of many around them, the sense of helplessness weighed heavily. My heartfelt wish is for medical advancements to find a cure for ASL Disease. The last episode left me on edge, uncertain of the outcome, though I braced myself for the inevitable. The drama was emotionally compelling and exceptionally well-executed.Was this review helpful to you?

Not first drama of this genere
Having already watched both the Korean and Thai versions, I didn't find this drama as captivating, although I thoroughly enjoyed the Korean adaptation. Nonetheless, I wasn't disappointed by this rendition and found myself smiling at several scenes. While it didn't bore me, I must admit that the Korean version remains superior in my eyes.About acting , both the leads were best.
